En Caracas, el 15 de enero de 1984, escribí sobre el origen de algunos poemas de El apasionado peregrinaje, las siguientes líneas: "Hacia 1599 William Jaggard, editor de la época, publicó en un pliego doblado en ocho hojas El apasionado peregrinaje. Parecio ser que solo cinco poemas fueron escritos por William Shakespeare: dos de su ciclo de Sonetos y tres de La labor del amor perdido. Luego Thomas Heywood, en su Troia Britanica (1609) exalto una edicion corregida y aumentada.

A story of war, witchcraft and bloodshed, Macbeth also depicts the relationship between husbands and wives, and the risks they are prepared to take to achieve their desires.
